it's high time we reinstated traditional hardboard panels over those dreadful paneled doors, too.

hope they don't comply with part L, after all they need to be draughty and uninsulated with frozen pipes. Can you still get the old cable for the wiring? lead pipes? galvanised steel tanks complete with dead birds? If you want a museum then at least do it properly.
So what would you charge to rip out a bathroom and install an outside lav:-)?

We were somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the drugs began to take hold. I remember Adam Wadsworth saying something like:

We had outside toilets when I was a kid. You got a blue ring round your arse.
You could also read your arse from the newsprint which came off the newspaper hanging on the nail.

Aww. I've just thrown away a load of cotton-covered rubber...

I knew someone whose bedroom in a student house had previously been a bathroom. The landlord had left the sink (which I suppose is not totally unheard of in a bedroom) but also the frosted window and a pair of plugged pipes out the wall which I assume once fed a shower valve.
